Sponsor: Chris Smith Email: chris.smith@jagex.com Listening to a million voices - visualizing player sentiment in Games Developers & publishers of online game services (such as RuneScape) value understanding what topics players are talking about, and how players feel about them, so that they can build better games. Your goal is build a solution which allows effective understanding of community sentiment from both forum-based & in-game free-text chat between players. You will create highly visual & intuitive near-real-time dashboards which utilize Natural Language Processing to provide an overview, alerts and drill-down visibility into the live sentiment of hundreds of thousands of players. You’ll need to think about how to disentangle multiple topics in free flowing conversational chat and how sentiment analysis can become adaptive and context aware, providing accurate analysis across multiple dynamic in-game scenarios. You’ll need to employ Machine Learning, Real-Time Big Data know-how and skillful UX design to deliver a product that will help us listen to our players and build better games.
